In a major victory for conservation, the European Union passed a groundbreaking nature restoration law. The legislation mandates that all EU countries restore at least 20% of their land and sea by 2030, with the ultimate goal of full ecosystem restoration by 2050. This ambitious plan addresses the alarming rate of biodiversity loss in Europe and marks a significant step towards a healthier environment for the continent.

The Climate Clock serves as a vivid reminder of the urgency in combating climate change. It ticks down the time we have left to prevent global temperatures from rising by 1.5 degrees Celsius—a critical threshold according to the 2015 Paris Agreement, which aims to cap warming well below 2°C, and ideally at 1.5°C, to avert severe environmental consequences. As the clock ticks, it reminds us of the ongoing and urgent work needed to safeguard our planet for future generations. Through initiatives like these, CSIR continues to be at the forefront of India’s journey towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
